Hoffman Pips Burkett to Score an Early Knockout
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Thomas Burkett moved all-in for 28,000 from under the gun and Matthew Hoffman looked him up from the small blind,
Thomas Burkett: K♣J♦ 
Matthew Hoffman: K♠Q♦
Burkett was in rough shape with his dominated king and it stayed that way on the 8♣7♥3♦ flop. The 9♠ turn gave him a gutter but the 4♠ completed the board as he hit the rail early in Day 2.
